An old iPod with Rockbox loaded on it is a good choice too.

I just got a few Super Fami games today and included in the lot were Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy V. I'd like to convert these to have English ROMs but I keep finding conflicting information about what EEPROMs I need. IIRC Chrono Trigger needs a 29F032 but I could be wrong on that. I plan on usi...

I have crafted a 20 game Want List, all stuff I can afford. I only have a 64K MSX1 so that disqualifies a bunch of games right off the bat anyway. Have you looked into getting an MSX2 or 2+? There's some pretty cool stuff for the MSX2 and it's pretty easy to make floppies if you've got a PC with a ...

This year I'd like to focus mostly on the MSX, picking up some old Falcom carts and whatnot.
